Going to Extremes was developed out of a growing need to kick-start conversation around extremism and radicalisation and how it can affect young people in the UK.

Exploring far-right political as well as Islamist-inspired extremism, the play looks at what happened to three young people, who each had their own vulnerabilities, that found themselves targeted by individuals or groups that wanted to use them for their own agenda. Using simple story-telling techniques, their stories are played out and examined in an attempt to understand how and why they were targeted and how young people can prevent this sort of thing happening in the first place by encouraging an open dialogue and conversation about the issues as well as empathy, understanding and respect for others’ views and beliefs.

Who could benefit? Teachers, safeguarding leads, people working with vulnerable individuals, community & voluntary organisations
